1. When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled, they were all in one place together.
|
1. And G2532 when the G3588 day G2250 of Pentecost G4005 was fully come G4845 , they were G2258 all G537 with one accord G3661 in G1909 one place G846 .
|
|
2. And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were.
|
2. And G2532 suddenly G869 there came G1096 a sound G2279 from G1537 heaven G3772 as G5618 of a rushing G5342 mighty G972 wind G4157 , and G2532 it filled G4137 all G3650 the G3588 house G3624 where G3757 they were G2258 sitting G2521 .
|
|
3. Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them.
|
3. And G2532 there appeared G3700 unto them G846 cloven G1266 tongues G1100 like as G5616 of fire G4442 , and G5037 it sat G2523 upon G1909 each G1538 G1520 of them G846 .
|
|
4. And they were all filled with the holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim.
|
4. And G2532 they were all G537 filled G4130 with the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 , and G2532 began G756 to speak G2980 with other G2087 tongues G1100 , as G2531 the G3588 Spirit G4151 gave G1325 them G846 utterance G669 .
|
|
5. Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven staying in Jerusalem.
|
5. And G1161 there were G2258 dwelling G2730 at G1722 Jerusalem G2419 Jews G2453 , devout G2126 men G435 , out of G575 every G3956 nation G1484 under G5259 heaven G3772 .
|
|
6. At this sound, they gathered in a large crowd, but they were confused because each one heard them speaking in his own language.
|
6. Now G1161 when this G5026 was noised abroad G1096 G5456 , the G3588 multitude G4128 came together G4905 , and G2532 were confounded G4797 , because G3754 that every man G1538 G1520 heard G191 them G846 speak G2980 in his own G2398 language G1258 .
|
|
7. They were astounded, and in amazement they asked, "Are not all these people who are speaking Galileans?
|
7. And G1161 they were all G3956 amazed G1839 and G2532 marveled G2296 , saying G3004 one to another G240 G4314 , Behold G2400 , are G1526 not G3756 all G3956 these G3778 which speak G2980 Galilaeans G1057 ?
|
|
8. Then how does each of us hear them in his own native language?
|
8. And G2532 how G4459 hear G191 we G2249 every man G1538 in our G2257 own G2398 tongue G1258 , wherein G1722 G3739 we were born G1080 ?
|
|
9. We are Parthians, Medes, and Elamites, inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
|
9. Parthians G3934 , and G2532 Medes G3370 , and G2532 Elamites G1639 , and G2532 the G3588 dwellers G2730 in Mesopotamia G3318 , and G5037 in Judea G2449 , and G2532 Cappadocia G2587 , in Pontus G4195 , and G2532 Asia G773 ,
|
|
10. Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the districts of Libya near Cyrene, as well as travelers from Rome,
|
10. G5037 Phrygia G5435 , and G2532 Pamphylia G3828 , in Egypt G125 , and G2532 in the G3588 parts G3313 of Libya G3033 about G2596 Cyrene G2957 , and G2532 strangers G1927 of Rome G4514 G5037 , Jews G2453 and G2532 proselytes G4339 ,
|
|
11. both Jews and converts to Judaism, Cretans and Arabs, yet we hear them speaking in our own tongues of the mighty acts of God."
|
11. Cretes G2912 and G2532 Arabians G690 , we do hear G191 them G846 speak G2980 in our G2251 tongues G1100 the G3588 wonderful works G3167 of God G2316 .
|
|
12. They were all astounded and bewildered, and said to one another, "What does this mean?"
|
12. And G1161 they were all G3956 amazed G1839 , and G2532 were in doubt G1280 , saying G3004 one to another G243 G4314 G243 , What G5101 meaneth G2309 G302 G1511 this G5124 ?
|
|
13. But others said, scoffing, "They have had too much new wine."
|
13. G1161 Others G2087 mocking G5512 said G3004 , These men are G1526 full G3325 of new wine G1098 .
|
|
14. Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice, and proclaimed to them, "You who are Jews, indeed all of you staying in Jerusalem. Let this be known to you, and listen to my words.
|
14. But G1161 Peter G4074 , standing up G2476 with G4862 the G3588 eleven G1733 , lifted up G1869 his G848 voice G5456 , and G2532 said G669 unto them G846 , Ye men G435 of Judea G2453 , and G2532 all G537 ye that dwell G2730 at Jerusalem G2419 , be G2077 this G5124 known G1110 unto you G5213 , and G2532 hearken G1801 to my G3450 words G4487 :
|
|
15. These people are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine o'clock in the morning.
|
15. For G1063 these G3778 are not G3756 drunken G3184 , as G5613 ye G5210 suppose G5274 , seeing G1063 it is G2076 but the third G5154 hour G5610 of the G3588 day G2250 .
|
|
16. No, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:
|
16. But G235 this G5124 is G2076 that which was spoken G2046 by G1223 the G3588 prophet G4396 Joel G2493 ;
|
|
17. 'It will come to pass in the last days,' God says, 'that I will pour out a portion of my spirit upon all flesh. Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams.
|
17. And G2532 it shall come to pass G2071 in G1722 the G3588 last G2078 days G2250 , saith G3004 God G2316 , I will pour out G1632 of G575 my G3450 Spirit G4151 upon G1909 all G3956 flesh G4561 : and G2532 your G5216 sons G5207 and G2532 your G5216 daughters G2364 shall prophesy G4395 , and G2532 your G5216 young men G3495 shall see G3700 visions G3706 , and G2532 your G5216 old men G4245 shall dream G1797 dreams G1798 :
|
|
18. Indeed, upon my servants and my handmaids I will pour out a portion of my spirit in those days, and they shall prophesy.
|
18. And G2532 G1065 on G1909 my G3450 servants G1401 and G2532 on G1909 my G3450 handmaidens G1399 I will pour out G1632 in G1722 those G1565 days G2250 of G575 my G3450 Spirit G4151 ; and G2532 they shall prophesy G4395 :
|
|
19. And I will work wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below: blood, fire, and a cloud of smoke.
|
19. And G2532 I will show G1325 wonders G5059 in G1722 heaven G3772 above G507 , and G2532 signs G4592 in G1909 the G3588 earth G1093 beneath G2736 ; blood G129 , and G2532 fire G4442 , and G2532 vapor G822 of smoke G2586 :
|
|
20. The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and splendid day of the Lord,
|
20. The G3588 sun G2246 shall be turned G3344 into G1519 darkness G4655 , and G2532 the G3588 moon G4582 into G1519 blood G129 , before G4250 that G2228 great G3173 and G2532 notable G2016 day G2250 of the Lord G2962 come G2064 :
|
|
21. and it shall be that everyone shall be saved who calls on the name of the Lord.'
|
21. And G2532 it shall come to pass G2071 , that whosoever G3956 G3739 G302 shall call on G1941 the G3588 name G3686 of the Lord G2962 shall be saved G4982 .
|
|
22. You who are Israelites, hear these words. Jesus the Nazorean was a man commended to you by God with mighty deeds, wonders, and signs, which God worked through him in your midst, as you yourselves know.
|
22. Ye men G435 of Israel G2475 , hear G191 these G5128 words G3056 ; Jesus G2424 of Nazareth G3480 , a man G435 approved G584 of G575 God G2316 among G1519 you G5209 by miracles G1411 and G2532 wonders G5059 and G2532 signs G4592 , which G3739 God G2316 did G4160 by G1223 him G846 in G1722 the midst G3319 of you G5216 , as G2531 ye G846 yourselves also G2532 know G1492 :
|
|
23. This man, delivered up by the set plan and foreknowledge of God, you killed, using lawless men to crucify him.
|
23. Him G5126 , being delivered G1560 by the G3588 determinate G3724 counsel G1012 and G2532 foreknowledge G4268 of God G2316 , ye have taken G2983 , and by G1223 wicked G459 hands G5495 have crucified G4362 and slain G337 :
|
|
24. But God raised him up, releasing him from the throes of death, because it was impossible for him to be held by it.
|
24. Whom G3739 God G2316 hath raised up G450 , having loosed G3089 the G3588 pains G5604 of death G2288 : because G2530 it was G2258 not G3756 possible G1415 that he G846 should be holden G2902 of G5259 it G846 .
|
|
25. For David says of him: 'I saw the Lord ever before me, with him at my right hand I shall not be disturbed.
|
25. For G1063 David G1138 speaketh G3004 concerning G1519 him G846 , I foresaw G4308 the G3588 Lord G2962 always G1223 G3956 before G1799 my face G3450 , for G3754 he is G2076 on G1537 my G3450 right hand G1188 , that G2443 I should not G3361 be moved G4531 :
|
|
26. Therefore my heart has been glad and my tongue has exulted; my flesh, too, will dwell in hope,
|
26. Therefore G1223 G5124 did my G3450 heart G2588 rejoice G2165 , and G2532 my G3450 tongue G1100 was glad G21 ; moreover G1161 G2089 also G2532 my G3450 flesh G4561 shall rest G2681 in G1909 hope G1680 :
|
|
27. because you will not abandon my soul to the netherworld, nor will you suffer your holy one to see corruption.
|
27. Because G3754 thou wilt not G3756 leave G1459 my G3450 soul G5590 in G1519 hell G86 , neither G3761 wilt thou suffer G1325 thine G4675 Holy One G3741 to see G1492 corruption G1312 .
|
|
28. You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence.'
|
28. Thou hast made known G1107 to me G3427 the ways G3598 of life G2222 ; thou shalt make me full G4137 G3165 of joy G2167 with G3326 thy G4675 countenance G4383 .
|
|
29. My brothers, one can confidently say to you about the patriarch David that he died and was buried, and his tomb is in our midst to this day.
|
29. Men G435 and brethren G80 , let G1832 me freely G3326 G3954 speak G2036 unto G4314 you G5209 of G4012 the G3588 patriarch G3966 David G1138 , that G3754 he is both dead G5053 G2532 and G2532 buried G2290 , and G2532 his G846 sepulcher G3418 is G2076 with G1722 us G2254 unto G891 this G5026 day G2250 .
|
|
30. But since he was a prophet and knew that God had sworn an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants upon his throne,
|
30. Therefore G3767 being G5225 a prophet G4396 , and G2532 knowing G1492 that G3754 God G2316 had sworn G3660 with an oath G3727 to him G846 , that of G1537 the fruit G2590 of his G846 loins G3751 , according to G2596 the flesh G4561 , he would raise up G450 Christ G5547 to sit G2523 on G1909 his G846 throne G2362 ;
|
|
31. he foresaw and spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, that neither was he abandoned to the netherworld nor did his flesh see corruption.
|
31. He seeing this before G4275 spake G2980 of G4012 the G3588 resurrection G386 of Christ G5547 , that G3754 his G846 soul G5590 was not G3756 left G2641 in G1519 hell G86 , neither G3761 his G846 flesh G4561 did see G1492 corruption G1312 .
|
|
32. God raised this Jesus; of this we are all witnesses.
|
32. This G5126 Jesus G2424 hath God G2316 raised up G450 , whereof G3739 we G2249 all G3956 are G2070 witnesses G3144 .
|
|
33. Exalted at the right hand of God, he received the promise of the holy Spirit from the Father and poured it forth, as you (both) see and hear.
|
33. Therefore G3767 being by the G3588 right hand G1188 of God G2316 exalted G5312 , and G5037 having received G2983 of G3844 the G3588 Father G3962 the G3588 promise G1860 of the G3588 Holy G40 Ghost G4151 , he hath shed forth G1632 this G5124 , which G3739 ye G5210 now G3568 see G991 and G2532 hear G191 .
|
|
34. For David did not go up into heaven, but he himself said: 'The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand
|
34. For G1063 David G1138 is not G3756 ascended G305 into G1519 the G3588 heavens G3772 : but G1161 he G846 saith G3004 himself, The G3588 Lord G2962 said G2036 unto my G3450 Lord G2962 , Sit G2521 thou on G1537 my G3450 right hand G1188 ,
|
|
35. until I make your enemies your footstool."'
|
35. Until G2193 I make G5087 G302 thy G4675 foes G2190 thy footstool G5286 G4675 G4228 .
|
|
36. Therefore let the whole house of Israel know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Messiah, this Jesus whom you crucified."
|
36. Therefore G3767 let all G3956 the house G3624 of Israel G2474 know G1097 assuredly G806 , that G3754 God G2316 hath made G4160 that same G5126 Jesus G2424 , whom G3739 ye G5210 have crucified G4717 , both G2532 Lord G2962 and G2532 Christ G5547 .
|
|
37. Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and they asked Peter and the other apostles, "What are we to do, my brothers?"
|
37. Now G1161 when they heard G191 this, they were pricked G2660 in their heart G2588 , and G5037 said G2036 unto G4314 Peter G4074 and G2532 to the G3588 rest G3062 of the apostles G652 , Men G435 and brethren G80 , what G5101 shall we do G4160 ?
|
|
38. Peter (said) to them, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the holy Spirit.
|
38. Then G1161 Peter G4074 said G5346 unto G4314 them G846 , Repent G3340 , and G2532 be baptized G907 every one G1538 of you G5216 in G1909 the G3588 name G3686 of Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 for G1519 the remission G859 of sins G266 , and G2532 ye shall receive G2983 the G3588 gift G1431 of the G3588 Holy G40 Ghost G4151 .
|
|
39. For the promise is made to you and to your children and to all those far off, whomever the Lord our God will call."
|
39. For G1063 the G3588 promise G1860 is G2076 unto you G5213 , and G2532 to your G5216 children G5043 , and G2532 to all G3956 that G3588 are afar off G1519 G3112 , even as many as G3745 G302 the Lord G2962 our G2257 God G2316 shall call G4341 .
|
|
40. He testified with many other arguments, and was exhorting them, "Save yourselves from this corrupt generation."
|
40. And G5037 with many G4119 other G2087 words G3056 did he testify G1263 and G2532 exhort G3870 , saying G3004 , Save G4982 yourselves from G575 this G5026 untoward G4646 generation G1074 .
|
|
41. Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand persons were added that day.
|
41. Then G3767 they that gladly received G588 G3303 his G846 word G3056 were baptized G907 : and G2532 the G3588 same G1565 day G2250 there were added G4369 unto them about G5616 three thousand G5153 souls G5590 .
|
|
42. They devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to the communal life, to the breaking of the bread and to the prayers.
|
42. And G1161 they continued steadfastly G2258 G4342 in the G3588 apostles G652 ' doctrine G1322 and G2532 fellowship G2842 , and G2532 in breaking G2800 of bread G740 , and G2532 in prayers G4335 .
|
|
43. Awe came upon everyone, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.
|
43. And G1161 fear G5401 came G1096 upon every G3956 soul G5590 : and G5037 many G4183 wonders G5059 and G2532 signs G4592 were done G1096 by G1223 the G3588 apostles G652 .
|
|
44. All who believed were together and had all things in common;
|
44. And G1161 all G3956 that believed G4100 were G2258 together G1909 G846 , and G2532 had G2192 all things G537 common G2839 ;
|
|
45. they would sell their property and possessions and divide them among all according to each one's need.
|
45. And G2532 sold G4097 their possessions G2933 and G2532 goods G5223 , and G2532 parted G1266 them G846 to all G3956 men, as G2530 every man G5100 G302 had G2192 need G5532 .
|
|
46. Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the temple area and to breaking bread in their homes. They ate their meals with exultation and sincerity of heart,
|
46. And G5037 they, continuing G4342 daily G2596 G2250 with one accord G3661 in G1722 the G3588 temple G2411 , and G5037 breaking G2806 bread G740 from house to house G2596 G3624 , did eat G3335 their meat G5160 with G1722 gladness G20 and G2532 singleness G858 of heart G2588 ,
|
|
47. praising God and enjoying favor with all the people. And every day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.
|
47. Praising G134 God G2316 , and G2532 having G2192 favor G5485 with G4314 all G3650 the G3588 people G2992 . And G1161 the G3588 Lord G2962 added G4369 to the G3588 church G1577 daily G2596 G2250 such as should be saved G4982 .
